For the Record
The Nassau County Sheriff’s Office recently announced the results of “Operation The Dedication,” which was an operation to reduce illegal drug activity within Nassau County.
Between June and November, the NCSO Narcotics Division conducted numerous undercover drug operations throughout Nassau County. Based on these operations, 31 individuals were arrested for illegal drug activity.
“The people who were involved in this operation are not just your casual drug user,” said Sheriff Bill Leeper. “These are drug dealers and repeat offenders. If we successfully remove the drug dealers and repeat offenders, crime goes down.”
Items seized included 98 pills, 218.63 grams of cocaine, 32.43 grams of methamphetamine, 972.85 grams of marijuana, $7,809 cash, a 1998 Ford Crown Victoria and a 2007 Pontiac G6.
The NCSO continually seeks the community’s help in reducing illegal drug activity and asks anyone who knows someone dealing illegal drugs to report it.
“If you are selling illegal drugs in Nassau County, your next sale could be the one that sends you to jail, so I would suggest you stop and go get a real job,” Leeper said.
